the em battle embattled city. isis on the run. are we gaining control of tikrit as close combat continues in hussein's hometown? >> the men say isis fighters attack them at this new front line at night. isis have been driven back three miles from here. they're not gone. jeb bush's e-mail trail. new details from his e-mails as florida's governor raises questions of possible conflicts of interest. as for hillary clinton's new e-mail address, now try jimmy kimmel. >> do you have hillary clinton's new e-mail address? >> i can't share it with you. i don't think she'd want you to have it. so long winter. the great thaw is on and to celebrate this wake skater is taking on the giant ice chunks off cape cod. just look.
9:01 am
good day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. still no arrests in ferguson. the man hunt continues to find those responsible for the shooting of two police officers. a candle light vigil was held last night for those officers who home with their families. president obama condemned the shooting on a appearance of jimmy kimmel live last night. >> what had been happening in ferguson was oppressive and objectal and worthy of protest. there was no excuse for criminal acts. whoever fired those shots shouldn't detract from the issue, they're criminals. they need to be arrested. >> msnbc tremaine lee join me
9:02 am
from ferguson. do they want the mayor gone or the whole police force taken over. what are the chief demands for people rallying every night? >> reporter: folks are saying just because a few heads have rolled that doesn't reshape or remake the culture. for years as targeted african-americans for arrests and excessive force. while the city manager has resigned, chief tom jackson resigned, they do want the mayor next. they want a complete shake up from top to bottom. in april there will be municipal elections. three city council seats will be open. it's yet to be seen whether the protests and movement are fueling any new candidates. people have been extremely critical of politicians and city
9:03 am
leadership it's yet to see what the alternatives may be. >> that's the issue. craig melvin was there and talked to people for the today show about what they wanted. where ferguson moves from her. let's watch. >> what's the end game? >> the end game is to continue. continue to fight until we have a system that is going to be equal to everyone. >> we've had three top officials step down over the past week or so, is that not enough? >> no. it's nothing. >> the senator from missouri was on the today show as well talking about your point about the elections. about the fact people have to participate to get what they want. >> reporter: that's right. i think it's also a generational gap here. we're at the 50th anniversary of the voting rights act. younger people will say the
9:04 am
voting has not helped save the lives of young black men who have been killed by police. voting has not put a barrier between so many deleted and oppressed communities dealing with police violence every day. the point that claire and others have made you can be critical of the system you can blast the political leaders but until you are an active participant in this process your voice will be muted. there's extremely low voter turn out. april could very well be a test to see how motivated folks are to take part in the process and perhaps try to change it from within. >> thanks so much. back here in washington secretary of state john kerry has already arrived in egypt. he's talking about economic aid.
9:05 am
he goes to switzerland. his first meeting since 47 republican senators here sent that letter trying to kill a nuclear deal. president obama told vice news what he thinks of what the senators did. >> i'm embarrassed for them. for them to address a letter who they claim is our mortal enemy and their basic argument is don't deal with our president because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement. it's close to unprecedented. >> state department spokesperson joins me from the state department. >> hi. >> let's talk about the letter and what the republican senators did. you heard what the president said. you were with secretary kerry. how does that influence what iran does at the negotiating
9:06 am
table starting sunday? >> the negotiations remain between the negotiators. do we think this will have a direct impact on the room? no. the fact is as the president said this is nearly unprecedented. it's bringing into question what's been precedent for hundreds of years back to when members of congress were riding horse and buggy to do their job. it brings into question whether they want to see a deal or prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. that's what our objective is here. >> how many tweeted yesterday in response to that saying the team of negotiators appointed by president hassan has good and trusted members for the benefit of the country. the other side says a habit of deception and treason. what a day and age we're living in where someone is tweeting on his behalf in response to a letter from these republican
9:07 am
senators. >> it is a sort of a new means of communicating, isn't it. >> it does indicate from all reports that iran because of the oil prices the sanctions, their economic troubles they're very motivated to come up with something. could this all fall apart or do you expect they have gone past the point of no return with the end of march deadline? >> we'll see. that's what we'll all be watching closely over the next two weeks. this is what's interesting and historic about diplomacy and next two weeks it's crunch time. in a couple of weeks from now we'll know more than we do today. >> closer to home the controversy over the e-mails, hillary clinton's e-mails and inspector general's report that found since 2009 when a new computer semiystem, upgrade called
9:08 am
smart which was supposed to be archiving e-mails by all employees that they did not receive adequate training and the computer system itself kept failing. some employees deliberately avoiding using the recordkeeping system because they wanted to avoid future searches. they said an incredible billion dollars -- excuse me a billion e-mails were sent but only 61,000 were archived and two years later only 40,000 were archived for public records. is this a cause to arms call to arms for the state department to fix this problem? >> two points here. one it is understandable why this is a bit confusing. smart is one of many tools. it's only one tool used to archive and keep record of our state department records. employees can print their
9:09 am
records. there's range of tools they can use. it's traditionally used by overseas posts. we have also taken a number of steps to upgrade what we do here. now and today secretary kerry's e-mails are automatically archived. dozens of state department employees are archived. this is an evolving process. one we're continuing to strive to do better on. we'll have a better electronic system in place. >> 2009 upgrade and the manual indicated that people should no longer be printing and filing. they should be computerizing these records. do you automatically archive your records or is the system too hard to use? >> it's about what the technology allows for. right now there are processes that are under way in the state department to make it more user friendly, make it possible for all employees to take steps more easily archive their records. it's been a process that's been
9:10 am
ongoing and clearly the use of e-mail, how this has been such a prevalent part of what we do. we need to do more to keep up with that changing component. >> part of hillary clinton's rationale for not turning all of her e-mails is any e-mail she sent to a state department colleague would be kept but according this i.t. report that wasn't the case. >> there are many ways of keeping e-mails and having access to e-mails. i think this report was referring to one specific program that is a tool that some state department employees use but many employees use different means of keeping track of an archiving their records. this is something isn't perfect the there's continued steps we need to take and we are taking and we have taken over the past months and years to upgrade our capabilities here.
9:11 am
>> jen, i want to take you to iraq because in tikrit we hear there's great progress on the ground. in relatively small numbers but 20,000 shiite militia under the influence of iran and led by general from the revolutionary guard who is a very controversial figure in the past. was accused in the past of an attempted assassination of the saudi ambassador right here in washington. aren't we aligning ourselves with a very strange bedfellow. >> we both have a common concern. a concern about isil and the threat of isis. we're not coordinateingeing with working with or endorsing the actions of iran. you mentioned this in what you conveyed. this is iraqi led.
9:12 am
prime minister abaddi has been on the front lines. they are leading this effort in tikrit. there's efforts the united states has been engaged in. just because iran is we know they have a presence on the ground. it doesn't mean we're working with them or coordinating with them in any way shape or form. >> would this be an issue. the concern over what these shiite militias will do if and when they take control of sunni tikrit. will that be an issue john kerry will discuss in switzerland outside the nuclear talks? >> certainly they're on the margins margins. these discussions are focused on the nuclear talks. there's enough to be done. there's quite a bit of work to be done. i will say broadly speaking we haven't seen indications that have raised concern about this
9:13 am
specific effort in tikrit. we have seen many reports. i know you've reported on them as well about reports of actions on unregular lated militia in iraq. >> thanks so much. i know you have to go to your daily briefing. thanks for stopping here. new revelations about just how much dysfunction there's inside the secret service. pretty shocking. please help me. please help. someone took my car. they are the suspects of the marathon explosion. >> plus dramatic evidence on the trail of the accused boston bomber. pete williams will be here next. sfx: common city background noise ♪ credit belongs to the man who strives valiantly who errs who spends himself in a worthy cause

9:17 am
a senior white house official says president obama is disappointed about the most recent secret service scandal. the president and his new secret service director didn't learn about the incident until monday. that was days after they crashed their car, a government car into a white house barricade last week. they had driven a mile to the white house from a nearby bar after a retirement party. when they arrived they drove into a secured area interrupting other agents responding to a suspicion package. last night the house overnight committee called the incident unacceptable. this was bipartisan. demanding answers from the new secret service director. close colleague of both under investigation.
9:18 am
joining me is kristen welker. people are shocked. the president said he's disappointed. he must be infuriated. he named clancy despite the recommendation of the outside review panel saying it should be an outsider to shake up the whole place and now this happens. >> reporter: there's stunned disbelief here at the white house and it goes all the way up to the president. the question here how can this possibly be happening again. just to unpack a little bit the fact that president obama wasn't made aware of this latest incident until monday that's days after this happened. that's when director joseph clan clancy found out. why didn't he know sooner and why wasn't president obama alerted until monday?
9:19 am
part of this is focused on the fact you'll recall there was an independent panel that reviewed all of those series of recent embarrassments that the secret service endured and their determination was president obama should choose someone from the outside. he ignored that recommendation from the independent panel. he decided to appoint joseph clancy and now the question is he too much of an outsider to turn this agency around. they coops tontinue to insist that president obama stands behind joseph clancy. he's put those agents into different positions.
9:20 am
the department of homeland security is investigating. they want to let that investigation play itself out before they make a determination about how clancy handles this. he's getting lot of pressure to handle this with a strong arm. they want the very latest on this next week. they are infuriated. i've been on the phone with top lawmakers and they can't believe it's happening. this has to end at some point. >> the fact is joe clancy is not doing the investigation because of his close work over the years with both these men. it is the inspector general who is investigating. that said this is a statement now from congressman from virginia. he writes the secret service is tsa it canned with protecting the white house but once again another incident makes the agency look more like its
9:21 am
partying in animal house. not only did they endanger their own lives and innocent civilians by choosing to drink and drive, they also imperilled the white house complex by disrupting an active bomb investigation. it raises questions that the secret service has not learned the tough lessons following other recent scandals. it's a really tough statement. both parties because we interviewed congressman cummings yesterday. they are furious. >> reporter: they're absolutely furious. you're hearing that type of strong language from all lawmakers on capitol. there's bipartisan outrage. as you know there's few things democrats and republicans agree on in this town. this is one of those things they agree on. just to remind folks of the broader context here this really started in columbia, 13
9:22 am
agents dismissed in the wake of soliciting prostituted. you had that person jump over the white house fence and made it inside the white house. that was an unprecedented security breach. the then director stepped down amid criticism saying she wasn't doing enough and that's why joseph clancy was appointed to really turn the agency around. that's where the focus will be in the coming days. one official saying they are expecting inspector general investigation to take weeks not months. they want answers. >> the former director he lost his job because he did not, from people that you and i both talk to, he did not inform the first
9:23 am
lady and the president in realtime when they learned that the shots had been fired and landed on the second floor, the family floor and the housekeeper had found bullet hole evidence when they were out of town but the girls and mrs. robinson the first lady's mother was there at the time that this incident taken and they did not inform the first lady and the president. now, again, clancy and the president don't learn until monday days after this incident. >> reporter: absolutely. one of the things that infuriated from that 2011 incident that you raise is the fact the first daughters were home. they were responding as parents and the fact this latest incident could have jeopardized the security here at the white house yet again, you have questions about whether the president's security was being threatened.
9:24 am
very deep concern here. >> what a horrible story. thank you very much. totally on top of this one. the iraqi army is making headway in the battle against isis and tikrit. what does that mean for the future of iraq? a live report from iraq coming up next. you're watching msnbc. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. ♪ [upbeat music] ♪ defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. now in a new look. in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg.
9:25 am
my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.
9:26 am
before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.
9:27 am
the fight to push isis out of key cities in iraq is raising on in tikrit. iraq's prime minister is saying it's only a matter of days before tikrit hussein's hometown, is taking back from control. bill, is two days a little bit too optimistic?
9:28 am
>> i would have thought so. we heard these statements before. they really are being optimistic about this. the more realistic way to look at it is that isis are hitting the attackers with suicide bombs, with car bombs and with mortar fire. while the iranian backed shiite militia commanders might say 75% of tikrit is in our house and there's only 150 isis fighters left, i think that's too optimistic and i think the evidence on the ground would suggest this will take a lot longer. remember, how long it took to take the little village of kobani from isis. i think this will be a slightly longer battle. >> how high is the concern that let's say they are successful in retaking tikrit that the militias would greatly outnumber the iraqi forces would take
9:29 am
action against the sunni residents of tikrit which would only exacerbate the problem. how worried are they about iran's influence and the heights hand the guard has been labeled a terrorist leader in the past by the u.s., is in charge of all of this. >> remember the huge numbers chairman of the chief joints of staff that of the 24,000 men attacking tikrit 20,000 were from iranian backed militias. you can see in the pictureses from te creditikrittikrit, among the flags tl dozens of other colors red, yellow, green, each one representing the dozens of militias that are there, and they are being directed on the ground by captain sulamani.
9:30 am
he was seen there on march 6 and many days with top officials. they are there, it is said directing that battle. a victory over isis by iran's shiite militias would be a victory for iran. does that also represent a victory for the united states and as you say, u.s. officials are monitoring very closely what those shiite militias are doing. when isis took over tikrit, they massacred about 1,700 recruits all heights from camp spiker. there's real concerns they will try to avenge that massacre and concerns already that they are burning houses and killing sunni civilians who they have sympathized with isis. there's real u.s. concerns on both fronts and what this means
9:31 am
both for iran and for u.s. interests in iraq. jurors in the boston bombing trial are getting a break from emotional testimony. chinese businessman testified about being carjacked by the tsarnaev brothers calling it the most terrifying moemgt inging moment of his life. pete williams has the account of his harrowing ordeal. >> reporter: that's him on this surveillance video running to a nearby mobile station. leaps out of car to tell his brother what happened. he dumps what he meant to buy and the two leave. he crawls down low in the mobile station so they won't see him. finds a hiding place and the attendant calls 911. >> i have one come inside now. >> fleez helpplease help me.
9:32 am
someone took my car. they are the suspects of the marathon explosion. please help. they have guns. >> reporter: a short time later he's safe and police began tracking the gps in the tsarnaev brother's stolen car. >> pete williams joins me now in washington after covering the trial from the courthouse this boston all week. pete this has been so dramatic. there's been day after day, so many moments i wanted to look back over the week with you. the video that showey showed of the brothers walking down the street before the bomb exploded. >> the fbi canvassed for several blocks trying goat video and were able to compile this video of them moving along the street as they go from business to business. the surveillance cameras in front of them. one wearing a white hat and one wearing a black hat. his defense lawyers have focused a lot on the fact he's following his older brother.
9:33 am
that's been their theme all along that throughout this plan he was following his older brother's lead. the next video you showed a moment ago is from the restaurant where the second bomb went off. that was the key video that got the fbi keyed on to the fact this is it. you see him circle there. everyone looks to the left after the first bomb goes off except the guy wearing the white hat. they notice as they played this video over and over again he came with a backpack but left without it. that's what keyed them on to the suspects with the white hat and the black hat. the fbi said 20 minutes later he was so calm that he was in whole foods grocery store buying milk. this was him running away. this is the video of him running away as all the first responders are running toward the scene. then what we just talked about here, the -- >> the fact he's in that whole foods. >> buying milk. we saw the photographs of what
9:34 am
he wrote inside the boat. we known the government told us bits and pieces of what he wrote. he saw it for ourselves. we counted 21 bullet holes. this 250 word essay he wrote condemning u.s. presence in the middle east. walking up to his patrol car where he shot him and the thing you showed earlier of the the incident at the gas station where he runs for his life. lots of fascinating video. >> being in the courtroom, what is his affect, what is his demeanor? are the jurors looking at him? what does it feel like in there? >> it's kind of a strange set up in the courtroom there because
9:35 am
the jury is on one side and the witness is on the other side. he's quite close to the witness, almost as close as i am to you. he doesn't look at the witnesses. he sort of slumps in his chair and looks straight ahead. he's looked a t eded at a few of the witnesses. he doesn't respond. >> has there been a lot of side bar? is it constantly interrupted by defense lawyers? >> a little bit. not a lot of that. this is judy clark, the lead defense lawyer said he did it. we don't contest that he did it. the question is why and does he deserve the death penalty? they're not cross examining a lot of witness, certainly not the victim witness testimony which has been so powerful. there's no point in cross examining to them. what happened to them happened. there's not been a lot of that give and take cross-examination.
9:36 am
>> are any of the witnesses who are not victims coming as observers? >> they have a special courtroom where they can go and watch it on closed circuit so there's not a lot of people staring at them. some are doing that. not a lot but some. >> pete, it's so heartbreaking and so terrifying at the same time. thank you. >> you bet. another american health worker has been brought back from africa to the n.i.h. after being infected with ebola. two republican headliners heading to new hampshire. more of this great video from cape cod. pete, isn't this amazing. look at this guy go. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got

the early leaders in the race for the republican nomination will be criss crossing each other. this while the associated press is sifting through the former florida governor's e-mail history and guess what. they found a lot. what do we know about jeb's e-mails and the fact a lot of donors were asking for help? >> this is a detailed review about 275,000 e-mails that jeb sent during his time as governor that he released. he did this earlier in the year. it takes a lot of time to go through those e-mails. there's some back and forth with donors. a donor saying it feels like the
9:41 am
only time i e-mail you is to ask for favors. jeb said we'll see. i have not looked through all 275,000 e-mails. there's a smoking gun here. if you're disinclined to like jeb bush you will find something in here. i don't think this is a campaign turn around sort of thing. >> what about the fact they are both in new hampshire. they are both testing the waters but scott walker is describing himself as the front-runner. >> yeah. the testing the waters stuff as paul ryan campaign finance institute said they are both soaking wet. they aren't testing waters. they are soaking wet. they are running. what's interesting about both of their trips is they reflect how each of them might present themselves as a candidate. walker is going to a grass roots
9:42 am
organizing event. he's going to be circulating with people who are the activists based where bush has more traditional formal settings in which he will be at including a fund-raiser. there's some who say that sort of defines the differences in how they will frame their own campaign. where bush following the more traditional establishment round. walker trying to connect at a different level. >> let's talk about hillary clinton's week. she was out again making a speech on wednesday, the day after, 24 hours after her q and a with reporters at the u.n. she was out giving a speech for money. she's not turning off the private money. she does have a public
9:43 am
appearance. march 16th that they have acknowledged taking place. how did she do this week this handling this controversy? >> in my opinion, not so great. i thought she started off -- first of all, let me say. the press conference was always going to be hard for her. you knew she was never going to say every e-mail i'm willing to give it to an independent and have them go through it. what she told us which is 31,10031 31,000 e-mail were considered private by she and her lawyers. this is supposed to be the kind of slow walk maybe slightly quickening walk up to an announcement. we expect sometime in april. this week is a week that is not a week they wanted to endure. my guess is next week won't be that much better. this is kind of the story that
9:44 am
will stick around. maybe not at the intensity of the last two weeks but i don't think it's going to disappear entirely. >> it could have fired up the base because showing her con fronted by so many reporters and camera crews not sitting in the room they had set up but chose to put it in this very awkward, what we call a stake out position where everyone is behind a rope made her look i think much more sympathetic to those inclined to support her and made the press corps and she's not the first to set things up that way. ronald reagan back in the day used to be told if you get in trouble in a news conference call on one of the more aggress aggressive reporters and that will get sympathy from the viewers back home. >> ronald reagan knew what he was doing when it came to stage craft. i think this was not just maybe riling up the activist base for her but a wake up call to those around her who really do want
9:45 am
her to run. this was not run well. she did not -- she was not fully prepared for the questions. i think the logistics of it this should have been wake up call to them. if she's going to run then they have a lot of work to do to professionalize the operation. >> just briefly, you wrote about pope francis weighing in to campaign finance, talking about public financing recently and this message, you can take it as you will the supreme court justices who voted for citizens unite united, this is what he said. pope francis commenting on money in elections. perhaps public financing would allow for me, the citizen, to know i'm financing with a given amount of money. everything needs to be transparent and clean. >> absolutely. the campaign activists in the united states who have taken
